With its simple geometry, the Alessi bird kettle has a personality, and was designed to blow water faster than any other stove top kettle on the market. This was accomplished by giving the water kettle a broad base that fits on the stove top. The dots on the bottom are to signify heat as the kettle is placed on the stove top. The blue grooved handle lets you know it is cool to the touch. And of course the bird whistles. The whistling bird can be removed when it is cool if desired.

The kettle is made of 18/10 stainless steel and measures 10" in diameter x 10.5" high. Capacity: 2 liters. Hand wash only.
